Yeah. But eventually this will be by someone with "strong hands" and no one will be able to buy it for another 25-40 years like most good coins....
Man. Usually I like European issues, and believe coin design is better nowadays on that side of the poind than this side. Having said that,...
Fair enough. I would agree errors are made on both sides of the judgment, but there isn't a better way I can see.
I would ask him. Maybe there is a very reasonable explanation. If I bought a coin like that and ran into hard times, the first person I would ask...
I would say a lot of toning is either intentional or unintentional, but even in such a situation there would be room for AT. If a coin tones...
I disagree completely. The premise was if the Yuan became gold backed. You said it would become the most valued currency. My entire post was about...
Scratched? IDK I guess. I sure would for toned ones. If it were scratched up maybe I would pay $1 less if I were in the market for them. My...

That's a scarcer wolf, with the control marks above. One of the "maybe in the future" subspecialties I had always considered was a collection of...
So why do you think $150 is appropriate Bill? The rarity of the aegis on the bust?
Do you have KM book? If not, you SERIOUSLY need one to see what countries struck coins, what they look like, etc. Its the bible of what you are...
To be fair, its a brand new auction. I would doubt there would be any bids yet anyway. I agree it will be interesting, I was just wondering if...
My best suggestion? Go to a large show and find good world coin dealers. What you are wishing to do is not unusual, in fact its one of the most...
